Doctor Fired After Speaking Out Against Lockdowns Another Example of Medical Cancel Culture

America’s Frontline Doctors offers public a trusted alternative to official censorship, politicized medicine

Los Angeles, CA – Today America’s Frontline Doctors (AFLDS) condemned the retaliatory actions taken against three Bay Area doctors who had the courage to speak out against California’s scientifically illiterate and economically devastating COVID-19 lockdown strategy. Dr. Michael deBoisblanc and two other physicians sent a letter to Contra Costa County health officials and legislators on December 10 asking them to justify a stay-at-home order set to expire next month. Among other restrictions, the order bans outdoor dining and keeps schoolchildren away from in-person instruction. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there is no evidence to suggest that outdoor dining significantly contributes to the community spread of COVID, nor do school-age children under 18 represent vectors for the disease.

Less than a week after sending the letter, Dr. deBoisblanc was fired from his position as trauma medical director at John Muir Health. Dr. deBoisblanc’s termination is consistent with a pattern of intimidation, professional sanction, and even censorship members of America’s Frontline Doctors experienced after organizing a COVID educational summit in Washington, DC last July. Simone Gold, MD, JD and AFLDS Founder, lost her job as a physician practicing emergency medicine and several others were threatened by their states’ medical and pharmacy boards for defending safe and effective early treatment options for coronavirus patients.

“Dr. deBoisblanc’s firing is further proof that medical cancel culture is real and getting worse for physicians and patient advocates who dare to question the phony expertise of our so-called ‘expert’ class,” said Dr. Gold. “I started AFLDS to offer concerned citizens a resource for timely COVID-related information untainted by politicized medicine and the public health establishment’s failed consensus. We condemn in the strongest possible terms this latest example of medical censorship and call on county and state officials in California to justify the continued lockdowns with transparency and scientific data, or immediately end them. Enough is enough. The lives of millions of our fellow Americans are at stake, and America’s Frontline Doctors will not stay silent.”


Unless we put medical freedom into the Constitution, the time will come when medicine will organize into an undercover dictatorship to restrict the art of healing to one class of Men and deny equal privileges to others; the Constitution of this republic should make special privilege for medical freedom as well as religious freedom."
